Sat, 25 May 2013 22:59:26 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2150341#comment-2557332Why would they sign an old LB with diminishing skill as a backup to what most personnel men call a future all pro LB that’s already on the roster? This isn’t fantasy football or Madden Franchise mode. Signing old veterans hinders development of what you already have. That’s why the elder statesmen generally get picked up around training camp when teams get desperate from injuries.

That’s actually something that is said about Jay Cutler too. He’s outstanding for his community in Chicago and doesn’t ever draw attention to himself. That doesn’t fit the narrative though, which is a shame, because Cutler does more to help people out than most of the anonymous internet commenter’s that are convinced they know him personally and he’s a jerk. Cutler however is a grown man that couldn’t care less what people say about him, he does good things because that’s what a man does.

Players at some positions can sneak an extra few years out of a broken down body. But middle linebacker really isn’t one of those positions. He had a good career but in reality he hasn’t been a factor for a couple of years and wouldn’t have helped Dallas much at all.

Huh, don’t see too many players saying that.

He was never leaving Baltimore. And as for Urlacher, he’s an injury waiting to happen at this point. He would bring nothing to Boys. I think they’re good with Lee in the middle.

Good decision by Dallas.

Sat, 25 May 2013 19:20:14 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2150341#comment-2557117Wait, what? How is it ideal? We likely will have one of the better tandems in the NFL with Lee and Carter.

If Urlacher wanted to back up Lee…sure. Even then that player likely has to play some special teams in which case…that ain’t happening and neither is taking Lee off the field so a 30+ aging linebacker can get on the field.

That is an awesome show of selflessness, from someone who could have just as easily directed the spotlight onto himself for his charitable generosity.

I’m talking to you, Mr. Tebow … who appeared on a Donald Trump show with a “show check,” as just another way to self-promote yourself.
